But what would you suggest as replacement for:

More generally sh scripts allow automatisation processes that you
can't simply do with emacs commands, it similar to using a mouse
actually. I don't think you can get rid of them.
Futhermore there are a lot of tools out there that are not integrated
to emacs if you do so, you don't have enough keys on the keyboard to
create bindings ;)
So I don't think you can realistically get rid of a shell
Maybe most emacs users aren't that committed to M-x shell and
it's friends.
Probably.
So for now I don't think I can forget Gnu Screen: one screen to handle
a terminal with a shell where all my ncurse based applications can
work properly and another screen where emacs lives.
